13 13. Three A Losers.
"[Instance Dungeon]?! This things was present in the village dimension? I thought the initial phase would be pretty boring. Now, there's at least something to look out for!"
"Sword Genius!! Oh My God!! My Goddess!! Ah..."
"It looks like Sword Genius's going to continue her legend from Fantasy World of Sword and Magic will continue."
"If only the spawn location was fixed, I also would have gotten the chance to enter [Instance Dungeon]. My luck is hella bad, I won't even get the chance to see it. (T_T)"
"Isn't there anyone who is curious about this Chaos 273? I know the rest are friends of Sword Genius from previous VR Games, but the VR profile of Chaos 273 shows he/she is a newbie. Does anyone knows him/her? How con my goddess play with any random player?!"
*Copper Rank Post* "My Guild 'Random Members' will award 1000 UGC and 1 spot to anyone who share the location of [Instance Dungeon] with us. Contact VR Forum account of our guild."
"I wish I had some kind of super power which will hint me what to do to complete achievement requirements, find treasures, quest clues, etc."

In Village #397, Forest Region;
A young women of around 24 years of age in red color beginner mage set was in a party of 8, with 5 women and 3 men, was engaged in a fight against 5 monsters of different species. Just when the party finished off the bunch of monsters the server announcement accompanied by bell chimes was heard. Hearing the content the women in red revealed a slight grin.
'It looks like Qian-Nee is already ahead on the path of achieving our dream. Now, Trisha-Nee will find it difficult to gain the leader position among us three with this disadvantage. I wonder what expression she is making now. If only I could record it. Hahaha..." The women in red thought to herself.
"Akane-san, that Sword Genius is your friend right? She is so awesome! I also want my name to be announced in the entire server. Urayamashii!!" Another mage by her side whispered to the women in red who's identity being 'Fire Saintess: Yagi Akane'.
Her beauty wasn't one bit inferior to Sword Genius. Crimson red hair, demonic red eyes, curly eyelashes, white unblemished skin, thin and petite body figure, long slender legs. She look like an enchantress capable enough to tempt a monk's desire.
"Right?! I wish I could be with Qian-Nee now. Don't worry Miyuki-Chan! I would introduce you to Qian-Nee and Trisha-Nee in the future. There will be plenty of chances for us play together." Fire Saintess replied to the girl Miyuki by her side and turned to rest of players who were stealing glances at her direction and said, "Let's go!! I don't want to lag behind Qian-Nee. Next time let's aggro 9 monsters."
The party members can only comply with her wishes with helpless expression. Despite her being the party leader, she likes to act like a mischievous girl. But they know she is dependable when it comes to important decisions, so no one opposed to her absurd request.
If she said 9 monsters to aggro than they are strong enough to deal with it.

In Village #620, Forest region;
A figure was darting between trees with quite and nimble steps, just like an assassin. Her beauty on par with Sword Genius and Fire Saintess. Obsidian black hair and eyes, healthy and natural skin tan, a perfect hourglass figure. Rogue beginner set stuck close to her body curves which further elevated her attractiveness. A light grey veil covered her lower part of the face.
"Looks like Qian-di took the lead. Hmm... I would have to redouble my efforts if I want her to call me as big sister." She thought as Aurora's announcement rang out in the air and right after quickly disappeared into the trees as no one was there to begin with.
She was 'Mysterious Shadow: Trisha Thakur'.

In Village #13, Forest region;
A young man around 27 years of age, wearing a mage attire was commanding a group of players. The group was a party of 15 men.
Their opponent were 6 level-1-E monsters and 3 level-1-D monsters. The young man was surrounded by 4 other mages, with 1 of them ready to cast *Mana Shield* on him at any moment protecting him like some VVIP.
In the middle of the fight Aurora's announcement rang out leaving the young man stunned. Then, an expression of anger, jealousy, hatred, etc. appeared on his face when he registered the name of Sword Genius in the announcement.
"That B*tch again!! F*ck! Why doesn't she just disappear?! ...*Blah! Blah! Blah!*" *Huff; Huff* Curses spewed from his mouth like a dam was broken. After some moment he began to grasp for breadth. The Party had already finished the monsters in the meantime.
"Young Master Liu, you don't need to care about that B*tch. 'The Starry Liu Clan', 'The Rathore Royals' and 'The Yamada Lords' have already established an alliance to deal with that Sword B*tch and her 2 partners." One of the mage immediately sucked up to the young man upon seeing him calm down.
"Yeah, YM Liu. Last time in Fantasy World of Sword and Magic we three guilds dealt with them separately. But now, we 3 guilds combined are as good as top tier A class guilds. The 3 of them will soon will be trampled under your feet. Especially that Sword B*tch." Another one soon followed.
"Then, the humiliating name 'Three A Losers' will be branded upon them. And we will be known as 'Three Brilliant Stars under the Haven'." The rest soon followed in their flattery.
Young Master Liu's expression became slightly better hearing his lackey's flattery. "Yeah, that bitch will soon be trampled under my feet. I can't lose my composure like this or if father hears about it I will be goner."
He looked towards his lackeys and sternly warned, "Not a word about earlier should be leaked. Or else you might wanna leave CHX region to save your life."
The players felt cold chill creep up their spine as they shivered and nodded.
"Let's go. We have to quickly reach level 10 and leave the village dimension first. Uncle Chenfeng said that this game will become the biggest giant of VR field. And he got this info only by chance. Not many Organizations knows this. We have the chance to reach S-Class Guild Status." Young Master Liu began to daydream as he mumbled to himself.
~~~~~
In Village #184 and #732, Scions of the guilds 'The Rathore Royals' and 'The Yamada Lords' had the same reactions as Young Master Liu when they heard the announcement albeit milder than YM Liu.
The main target of grudge is Mysterious Shadow and Fire Saintess respectively. Since the announcement had Sword Genius's name their reaction was milder.
~~~~~
Many A-Class Guilds in the middle and lower end of the rankings also paid significant importance to the [Instance Dungeon]. Because if they want to move up the ranking or securing their place it can be only be done easily in the beginning of a new game.
[Instance Dungeon] can place any player significantly ahead of the average player base, if they successfully clear it.

Sunny was browsing through the VR Forum after having dinner right after logging out at around 12am. A statistic post made by the platform caught his attention.
"Today was the first day of the game but 100 million or so players joined the game. The CEE has broken the record of 59 million players participant on the first day by a large margin.
"Top guilds usually sends 5% of their force along with a capable leader to scout any new VR Game for the first week. But, in VWPS all the top guilds sent at least 15% of their total players."
"..."
The Post also contains list of the guilds joining the game along with their estimated member count joining.
Sunny fell asleep quickly while browsing.
2nd Jan 2300, 6;30 Am.
Sunny completed his usual schedule after waking up. Morning rituals, Gym, Forum browsing and lunch.
At the gym, he requested Optix to adjust his diet according to his changed schedule due to VWPS. Since he will be spending most part of the day lying in the VRpod submerged into the Nutrient solution, that also will affect his diet. He will also not be able to have lunch at 12:00 Pm, since he can't guarantee he will be able to log out of the game in that time frame. Hence, he had to have lunch before 11:00 i.e. before entering VWPS.
At 11:00 Am, Sunny again Logged in and started his second day in VWPS. He appeared in the summoning platform and went towards the forest with quick steps after he regained his bearings.
On the way, he checked his status.
